The seats were would be fairly easy to construct on my own using three disgarded pallets and my mom's sewing skills. I would also think this seating would be inexpensive.

It allows for the teacher to have their computer on their desk, but is not bulky or so large that it takes up a lot of space. I would also choose a chair similar to this but with wheels. (Amazon, n.d.). I would also request the teacher and student computers be Apple MacBooks.

It also shows the style of curtains I would use to replace the mini-blinds in the classroom.

In this picture, I would strive to have tables like these. They are on casters, meaning they can be moved. This allows room for students to sit, while also allowing room for students to stand, should they choose. In this picture, where there are computers, I would put desks along the wall, facing forward. I would also like to recreate the space on the wall to display student work. On a different wall, I would incorporate the flexible pallet seating contained in the next picture. ]]> 2019-05-20 20:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/361910622 Higher Seating jblack111 https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/361914631 I would also include a pub table or two. These also allow students to sit higher up and provide opportunities for students to stand as needed. ]]> 2019-05-20 21:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/361914631 The Teacher's Desk Area jblack111 https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/361915848 Beside the teacher's desk, I would provide a small space for storage, while keeping the area clean. I would incorporate pegboard to allow things to be displayed on the wall and not take up space on the floor.

(The Magnolia Teacher, 2017).]]> 2019-05-20 21:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/361918870 Student Computer Center jblack111 https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/361919864 Each classroom is equipped with two student computers. I would utilize something similar to this to keep things organized and neat.

This allows students to write quotes they feel are inspirational, draw illustrations and use their imagination (Redden, M., n.d.).]]> 2019-05-23 16:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/362996642 Bookshelves jblack111 https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/363007129 To hold the classroom library.

I would ask for several of these wobble stands to allow students who wish to stand and move be accommodated. ]]> 2019-05-25 15:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jblack111/ntr7ogib5lqn/wish/363460219
